Describe the problem/error/question

I followed the n8n documentation on how to setup a n8n server using docker-compose. My server is a virtual machine on a proxmox server. The issue that I am having is that the instance of n8n works fine on my VM that hosts n8n but when I try to access it from another computer in my network I get an error it is not reachable. However I am confused because I can ping the VM machine that n8n is on. The way I understand the docs is that we mount the ports in the docker-compose.yml file. Or am I missing something.

Here is my docker-compose file. I literally didn’t change anything. Docker Compose | n8n Docs

Like I said the VM is reachable from my network however when I try to access the docker image it isn’t reachable.

So it had nothing to do with docker or ports. I was following a tutorial and they mapped the ports properly. It ended up being an issue with Windows and how Windows bypassed my IPv4 settings for my DNS and went to IPv6. So I ended up shutting the IPv6 setting off and now my N8N instance is reachable from my Windows machine.
